WASHINGTON, Jan 3 (Reuters) - Elon Musk’s SpaceX said on Friday its upcoming Starship test flight would include the rocket’s first attempt to deploy payloads in space by releasing 10 model Starlink satellites, a key demonstration for Starship’s potential in the satellite launch market.
“While in space, Starship will deploy 10 Starlink simulators, similar in size and weight to next-generation Starlink satellites as the first exercise of a satellite deploy mission,” SpaceX said in a blog post on its website.
The Starship flight from SpaceX’s sprawling Boca Chica, Texas facilities, tentatively planned for later this month, will mark the seventh demonstration in a test-to-failure style of rocket development where the company tests new upgrades with each flight.
So weird to say
We don’t do that for other companies, and he hardly engineers anything at spacex

Reuters is using the same kind of title.
Are they trying to say that Musk is the main worker at Starlink too?
yes
What’s your point exactly?
Elon Musk owns this business so it’s Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
He is a famous personality no matter what people think about him.
Also Apple was never mentioned without Steve Jobs or Microsoft without Bill Gates.
People usually do not write Bill Gates’s Microsoft or Steve Jobs’s Apple
Idk, we affectionately say “Tim Apple.”
Musk has been trying to get as much publicity as possible it would seem. The media is probably participating because it’ll generate clicks from those who vehemently oppose him and those who worship him.
I would argue they don’t usually say it that way for Musk either so that’s why I asked what your point was.
Also, I would appreciate not being downvoted because people assume I’m pro Musk. I’m not. I just try to understand why this sentence would trigger a comment like yours.
Do you imply that this article’s sentence was that way to promote Musk? I just thought that since Musk is a prominent personality that is constantly on the news anyway there is nothing really surprising in presenting SpaceX as his business. Especially when it is his business.
I just found it odd to phrase it that way, as I find it’s uncommon and it feels like it would place him as the main worker of that company. I don’t know the intent of the author
OP said it’s weird that they did and you seem to agree and give reasons why. I don’t see the confusion.
OP says it’s weird. I’m saying this might be unusual but doesn’t really show any intent from the author beside saying Elon Musk owns spaceX.
I don’t quite understand if OP thinks there is ulterior motive and if so what is it?
Elon Musk’s spaceX seems like a neutral and factual way to present this information.
But I guess I will never know why this is weird. Nevermind.
